well for the first sentence technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've got the future covered. the week's top stories on our turkey's stab at military intervention in syria gets a cold shoulder as rebel declared civilian aid calls the latest target mourning international plights to stay away. of course of support for iran's peaceful nuclear program that country destroys any version of it's been politically isolated by the u.s. with its hosting of a massive international something. the republicans freshly nominated presidential

candidate mitt romney promises hardline stance against russia but faces criticism for flip flopping on previous policies. and the war of the wealthy roman abra mortgages and certainly beat the bad legal attempts by london based tight close friends off to cut off a slice of his multi-billion dollar fortune. you're watching our live from moscow for this week's the weekly first the most open push she had for military intervention in syria came this week proposed by turkey with backing from both britain and france if it goes the u.s. servicemen to all the refugee camps on syrian soil which would be guarded and protected by foreign forces but a no fly zone but i did

a dead end at the security council with russia and china standing against any for their interference but britain and france remain determined hinting they might sidestep the u.n. altogether and that according to brian baca from the anti war on so coalition would be like a return to the past. if the united states and france and britain consider the united nations to be nothing other than they're placing a fig leaf for their own foreign policy yes they're very disappointed in russia and china for quote weakening the un but if the un is actually there be a voice for peace of. a method an instrument to avoid war in the scourge of war to avoid the ravages of colonialism as it has pretended to be at least in the past just it's very odd and ironic in fact completely hypocritical to have the french government saying to the syrian opposition you form a government and we'll recognize you i mean that's just a script from the good old days when the colonial powers operated through proxies

so it will be very those who control the monopoly of violence that is the nato powers themselves who will be the ultimate determiner of what the character is of this new so-called opposition government or what they will declare to be there with jim a government of the syrian people the rebel fighters say that foreign powers coming in and establishing a no fly zone would have a syria could significantly help them in their fight against assad's government but in the meantime they've promised to expand their offensive and new battle ground civilian polls with the free syrian army warning airlines to avoid damascus and aleppo they say planes arriving at the student cations are part of an alleged smuggling network for the government it's feared any across london lending days civilian or not could now be a target for the free syrian army but that's not the only tactic employed by the rebels that's raising serious questions as a team's new seek often up reports. it was another disturbing example of the many

atrocities committed throughout the syrian war a truck bomb with homemade explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of syria's largest city. i love what i do but the men that are loading it aren't assad forces they're one of the many groups fighting under the banner of the free syrian army and their captive is said to be a member of the should be a militia with very close ties to the government the video filmed by the new york times and turn into an on air segment by the b.b.c. captured what human rights groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war crime under international law review of rebels from the free syrian army trying to use a prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in the times when government forces and the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea that while being blindfolded he was actually embarking on a suicide mission he simply thought that he was being given his freedom the very next morning he was said to have a scaped after the bombs failed to detonate and the b.b.c.

had aired a story on august twenty second but this glimpse into the darker side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never aired again the story was also pulled from the b.b.c. website the network told me that this was due to copyright issues and this very video raises the question about whether such tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what has been previously documented they have yet to draw the same level of scrutiny as the crimes committed by the government were tallaght in syria is met with more whether by the government or the rebels the violence seems to be the name of the game and he further shatters the prospects for peace agreement reality for the civilians caught in this bitter war no for r.t. in moscow. meanwhile syria's neighbors are feeling the heat up of long running gear . that's our report on how asset friendly georgian found itself between a rock and a hard place with a never ending stream of refugees from one side and down smugly from the other.

waiting in on the syria situation is we saw with julian assange promising to publish millions of emails so in just how comfortable the words used to be with that and why the media is so intent on vilifying him in his first t.v. interview since he was granted asylum by ecuador he criticized washington's harassment of the leaks he said and speaking the truth there wasn't harmful unlike america's actions in iraq and afghanistan some of which is website help expose a sound also talked about a transnational surveillance empire that he says is quickly taking shape across the developed world it was a blow was cited internet giants such as google as being complicit in a mammoth spying operation by the united states or within from the u.k. independence party says this is weak even brings up i strictly relevant. we here in britain suffer even more from the surveillance society in the united

states london is the world capital of surveillance everywhere you look there's a c.c.t.v. camera we are constantly monitored monitored twenty four hours a day. now we we in the u.k. independence party try and fight this in the same way that wiki leaks has been trying to do but it's very difficult because you're made out to be against the rule of law or if you don't want to be so very you know every moment of your your waking life but the fact of the matter is that there's been no return sorry but only of the stuff that they reveal is fraudulent or misleading the whole story seems to be to take them out because the actual documents speak for themselves and are clearly for the most part you know extremely damning and very relevant you know. and plenty more to come this hour including a no mercy for mine this is really bad trends a seagull on a killing the humiliation and brutality the army has committed against palestinian

children on are. also an attempt to tap into china as well as german chancellor angela merkel tries to convince beijing to use its billions to prop up and even. iran's nuclear ambitions have won some poll for backing one hundred twenty countries voice the approval of peaceful atomic research in the country this was a key point in a unanimously adopted resolution that repped up a nonaligned movement summit in toronto the us and israel have been left reeling by the success of the gathering as they've been trying to undermine it all along it comes as a new report suggested iran has doubled its nuclear capacity but the document was rejected by turan as politically motivated it was another blow for israel and its western allies when un chief ban ki moon appeared at the sunlight he condemned to

their persistent aggressive rhetorical and threats of a strike on iran say it mohammad marandi a professor at the university of to run says it's ironic that the us of force iran to launch an atomic program. the iranians are saying that this report came out a sensitive time to sort of distract attention away from the iranian success the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce your aim at twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but the americans and the europeans by taking iranian citizen. people hostage forced the iranians to take that politicians senior politicians really know that an attack on iran would be devastating for the united states not only for its economy but for its global position and its credibility. independent researcher soraya supposed to believe that iran is the main barrier to us had had many in the region is to blame

ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said so this iran is a key player in the region and nothing much really can be solved he is our security participation and i'm sure that the united states and israel would like mr ban ki moon to come down hard on iran first he's also aware of the fact there's two thirds of the countries that belong to the united nations are member countries of the nine aligned movement united states state department they do tend to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in mind they would love to be a global vision monic power with the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of aggression. like iran and its enemy israel has lost popularity points after several israeli soldiers testified the children were off and their main targets they were as well backed by shocking

footage showing how it's on we had separated a mother from her daughter in a small palestinian village policia has the story. there were demonstrations as indeed there are even weekend now being silent which is a palestinian village in footage that was captured on camera the soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested five of whom were children and there are pictures of the daughters of one woman trying to save their mother as she was manhandled by the soldiers who were or signaling stun grenades now these reports come out on the heels of another damning conclusion there israeli defense forces has come under fire from its own rank and file an organization known as breaking the silence has published the testimonies of some thirty israeli soldiers and commanders and which they deal specifically with how the i.d.f. treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the op or treat east

of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that very often the idea of deliberately targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reports also going to say that even when children are not deliberately targeted they are not afforded any kind of protection when there is a shootout or any kind of military operation as you can witness from that distance one is that we published and from my own experiences as a soldier i have to say that the main point here is that there is there is no real distinction when it comes to treatment between adults and children for example we were doing constant arrest operations throughout the west bank arresting i don't know how many people you know on a nightly basis in many of the people that we were arresting were either children or teenagers did the most occasions we didn't even know why they were being arrested in one of the raid operations that we had to basically invaded the palestinian town south of the city of hebron the children started throwing stones

at us so it's on point we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as a shoe. suited to storms that were being thrown by these trends or by these supposed friends who did team instead of us we were hoping that that would stop him somehow that would stop his friends from throwing stones obviously didn't help him he just got injured in. so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding itself being criticized on a number of fronts policy r.t. television. still ahead for you in the program nostalgia for old you know what really caught on and why many germans remain fond of the deutsche mark and why it's still popular a decade after the euro was made to the country as a partial currency. also acting in bad faith and we saw the reasons behind it and president to drive the islamic extremism in russia putting

a series of bad that's the nations of moderate movement clerics. the british high court has smashed the hopes and reputation of russia's self exile tycoon bars of scheme his high stakes lawsuit against billionaire compatriot roman abramovich was dismissed in one of the most expensive cases in the legal history more on that from marty's laura smith. the final verdict in this case found against bodies which means that he won't receive a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was asking for from bitch about what i want to promote it should sell was not in court but is old scheme was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system that was the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up for the viewing of the general public the milky world's

old brushes make a rich in what they got up to back in the nineteenth ninety's the wild east as we called it back that we're talking about most of sums of money offshore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash. or of course five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with the documentation which of course has made this case a very difficult one to judge it's brought to london to school building billion ads along with their own two rushes megger expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this area in their shades in a menacing way but he spit is all this case says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that but i'm over it intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact him but he would

never business partners that he was making payments to but as well to keep it they were only for political protection. roof in russian he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two from which this is being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been. hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the results of this case new when this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. well news of that mega rich a squabble over billions in london might not go down well in crisis hits spain like cats is hard to come by and one boy is not out of a job according to the latest fake it's from your list at expert opinion on that next hour. penned two hundred years up to keep basso in russia for the

games of the invasion of napoleon these e.s.i. reenacting the collapse. of the u.s. presidential candidates have this week been trading verbal blows as they toward the states they see as vital to the a success in november's election earlier republican mitt romney beat barack obama to the gulf coast a visiting areas hit by hurricane isaac there's also been a lot of house retore between the two obama supporters accusing from neil paying little attention to u.s. soldiers fighting a cold while the republicans slammed obama's plan as a foreign policy failure asked him about that he would show more backbone in relations with russia however socialism professor william robinson says the highly personalized campaigns hide the fact that there's really little choice for american churches. there's no real significant difference between the republicans and the democrats regard to the economic program both parties are beholden to transnational

corporate interests particularly to the banking interests of oil interests to the u.s. military industrial complex this is a longstanding reality of the u.s. electoral campaigns increasingly their personalized increasingly the real issues are at stake the vital issues for people in the united states and worldwide are not dealt with and increasingly they are simple simply personalized the times there is one difference for. substance and this is coming out in the campaign pickering and that is that the obama administration has been pursuing what we could call a very limited nail can as you mentioned been a little more social programs that are a little more visible and really those are the only i seals are the only significant differences right now between these two parties in their presidential candidates. next though our team is going to cheat you can also author andrew levey you know how much a generation choice americans have at the upcoming elections here's a preview. it's sort of like. coke and pepsi

and level of antagonism and out of we exist in the places where those things are manufactured and marketed at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference and romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is so several that control and. all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically i can advertising it's become a sales promotions there are brands and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products to a product and it's. a pressure that not all it's not so much of the pressure that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people are most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative.

attacks against muslim leaders in russia have been on the rise recently prompting fears of a steady growth in radicalism and influential sheikh was killed and she is say in dagestan when a female suicide bomber entered the clerics home disguised as a pilgrim and blew herself up this comes after a double a sultan muslim figures in central russia in july artie's you got a piece going to find out where the roots of extremisms are leading. the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our sons had moved he was driving when a series of blasts threw him from his car the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among believers survived to find out his deputy was shot dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack but the spotlight is now on the other stun most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab

families from states where it's an official religion or they got the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here it's. like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but it isn't or any other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought the same different ideas often taught in smaller mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one form a boiler house rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks the art it's the mom's denying being radical but admit they do not support their stance of visual branches of islam. we don't divide brother muslims and there can be no radicalism no

terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit as. we were told here believers are taught sincerely any quality there are no longer up held in modern society with justice can only be achieved through islam and when someone says islam is the only fan way of life and social order they're called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing the hand is. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal code nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be partly to blame on how the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. often in books by classical world famous authors have banned or even some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence.

of course star stan is a long way from becoming involved by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key in the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to all of our d. guys on our son. check out r t dot com for more on this and many other stories here's what you can find the right now any level you old dog you study girl allegedly falls victim to any man he's accused of trying to frame for blasphemy in the koran burning case. also online of adultery humor as scratchy characters from the simpsons and these are kept in the mouse game to russian lawmakers find out how to talk calm. german jones lying the america has a rep for her visit to china it was aimed at tapping into the country's want to treat muscle to help all europe out of its downward spiral she sought to boost the

flow of investment from beijing into the european stability fund and now you know i gave you financial trouble that's the chancellor worked hard to create however the german leaders over virtues were met with the guarded response from china's leaders who stop short of pledging more cash injections into european debt couldn't deny me it from the european council on foreign relations explains why the chinese are in no hurry to lend a hand to berlin. the big hope in europe is that the chinese would invest in some of the new vehicles that have been crazy like the european stability mechanism . the chinese. offering lots of words of support today and yesterday but not much in the way of concrete promises to buy bonds in any case the chinese don't tend to make their bond purchases public so we don't know for example how much the chinese invested in european bones in the last two years since the

euro crisis began anyway and we probably won't know so there's a lot of there's a lot of uncertainty about in the case of their boss obviously this is a european company and so it will benefit not just germany but also france and other countries in europe but lots of the deals that have been signed. off for german companies are open to european companies and so to do in that sense there is a competition going on between germany and other european countries and mostly generally seems to be winning that competition while germany is striving to make sure the usa is a freeload to the old currency the deutsche mark showing no signs of discard it put all of a has a date tails off balance the old school savings for rainy day. here in germany the don't try are still very much alive and kicking in fact in a store in central berlin the good old they market is still accepted as legal

tender when it comes to purchases with an exchange rate of around two dollars each marks to the euro the store's manager says that there's still enough of the old currency around to warrant them taking it once on the name of three the reason we accept which marks is there are still plenty of people with the old currency we get quite a few people wanting to spend them in our store for it's not just in shops that they're accepted if you find a few demarche coins down the back of the sofa germany's public telephones will happily take them off your hands germany officially dropped the old money for the euro over ten years ago in two thousand and eleven alone though over eight million marks were brought to the bundesbank to be changed into crisp new currency but where is that cash coming from. that he had that is not in one of my other lead relatives gave me the scorns as a gift so i decided to turn them into something it could spend on television. we've

had them lying around the house for ages we've only just got around to getting demonstrated interest or there are those though who say they won't part with their marks as a minister. i keep them as a souvenir i'm not going to change them into europe and according to the blunders bank there's still more than thirteen billion dollars each marks in circulation they say they get returns from as far away as brazil and new zealand so unlike some euro zone members the bank won't place a time limit on accepting old money. so we will continue to take them as long as people keep bringing them it's something of a tradition here that currency from years and years ago will always be exchanged for legal terms or there are conspiracy theorists though who say. say that in the bank's bolt's trillions of being stockpiled should the euro crisis deepen only only rumors so if the cash that's returned isn't being kept for

a rainy day what happens to it and once the exchanges completes those deutsche marks the shredded ending their days as very expensive confetti feature all of a r.t. . you're watching our day i'll recap our main stories for you shortly stay with us for that.
